If we combine this article with the previous article and hook the E-Voting machine up with the new Online Random Number generator maybe we'd have a better luck a selecting "elected" officials. Lord knows it seems like the public can't do it right. Just a thought I had seeing the articles right next to each other.
Or maybe that's how the E-Voting machines already work?:)
I don't think Firefox has much to worry about. I can't use Safari at home or at work as Safari has the "No Fonts" bug on all the systems I've even tried to install it on.
I don't even setup or administer the systems at work so it's not my fault there.:) Oh well. Good luck Apple.
BestBuy doesn't even sign people up for MSN AFAIK. They'll sign you up for AOL, PeoplePC, NetZero, etc. They can only sign you up through the registers and only for the services with the "free" discs that are available in the store and that have a UPC. They scan the UPC and enter in your information & at some point you have to swipe the credit you want to bill.
I don't believe they even have MSN CDs or at least not that I have ever seen. I'd call some BestBuy's and find out. I'm certainly not "pro" BestBuy, but this is far fetched. Sounds like some confused customers to me.
A video sharing site from a company known for DRM and shitting on its customers!
That's what I was kind of thinking.
Funny thing that... I always make sure to ONLY BUY BLANK Sony Brand DVDs when they're on sale to use when I "Back Up" my original DVD's. Kinda makes me smile.
>> I don't know what they use, but it does need IE. Probably ActiveX or some such.
I can't even go there in IE7 as it prompts me to "Install the following add-on: MSXML 3.0 SP 7"
I pretty much only use Opera myself, but my wife ONLY uses IE and goes to ever shopping site out there... Disney, Old Navy, etc.. Have all windows updates etc as of a few days ago. So strange that no other site has ever promted for this "Add-On". I didn't install it as I didn't reall care to go their site, but it surely is IE only.
Like they are trying to patent getting from one house to another house by means of a "road" and a "wheeled vehicle".
There by saying anything, whether you pushed yourself down the street in a childs little red wagon to you creating a BRAND NEW hydrogen fuel cell vehicle just TODAY that NO one has ever thought of OR seen before, that this is "their" patent and they own these things because it's a "vehicle" that "travels" on a road. BS.
Unless, Vonage "stole" code from Verizon to accomplish this miraculous feat of getting voice from the internet to a phone then this whole thing is crap. It's just too broad to patent.
Verizon slammed for 'chronically poor' service http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1035_22-6176934.html "New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo criticized telecommunications company Verizon Communications on Tuesday for "chronically poor" telephone repair service in the state."
Hey, leave Verizon alone! They're busy protecting their patents.
They could go out of business and provide NO SERVICE if they let Vonage walk all over them!!
I don't suppose their is a way someone could steal my SSN, Name, address, etc.. and somehow use all this information to pay my taxes for me this year could they?
If so I'm going to recomend Turbo Tax to all my friends!
Funny that you bring up exwives...
I was just wondering what kind of thermometer they use to tell that the temperature is at -273 degrees celcius. Oral or Rectal? My ex is fairly frigid so if it's the later maybe she could help make it reach zero.
Which begs the the next question, would it have a zero on it? Because really, if it reached zero it would just dissapear and you wouldn't see it really ever reach zero. Hmm...

It's only certain parts of the website. Like if you click on the books.

Try that link in IE and you get the message "copyright 2001-2006 The Harry Potter Lexicon"
Your lawyers might try Opera if they want to "copy" text from a web site. Legal experts hah! They're using IE. I mock them.
My consulting fees are $500.00 billable at a minimum of 4 hour increments. I'll send a bill.

I'm broke and I got all 6 numbers out of 6.

I wonder how much ANY person would see ghosts if one tried hard enough to find them at the Waverly Hills Sanatorium?
I prefer my bad math in Power Point format.... err I guess it's Preso now.
Oh wait, just kidding...Keynotes the winner!!
I just recently discovered Opera Show... http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/operashow/ wish this would have taken off. It's pretty cool.

Clearly, Apple didn't like CUPS' poop-brown web interface. Their only option was to buy it and make it white/blue/brushed aluminum.

Ah ha ha!! That is the funniest thing I've read on slashdot! Wish I had some mod points!! That just cracked me up!!

Ok, that makes more sense then.
Something doesn't sound right about this.

Oh I had to get Opera in before it was all...
"And Microsoft declares victory over the Jedi resistance"
or
"Firefox declares victory, Mircosoft says it's pulling out of the browser market!" jokes.
Come one there are precious few of us Opera users!!
No need to read the article people...
Opera won!!!
It seems to me the patent is just too broad.

>>Utah has the Internet? 2 copies of it even. You know, because they believe in Jesus twice there.
I'd say I bought 20% more CD's this past year.
:)
They were all blank of course. "Wink" "Wink", but hey they were all Sony brand, so that's got to help them out a little bit right?
So if my brain blue screens while I'm wearing this thing I guess that will give a whole new meaning to the "3 Finger Salute".
/me puckers anus.
